Energy Policy

5th December 2018

When it comes to implementing policies and fostering corporate leadership ambitions which help reduce emissions and mitigate the negative effects of climate change, the UK has adopted a leadership position that is second only to Denmark. That is the key conclusion of new research from Imperial College London (ICL), which reveals that the UK’s phase-out of coal power has happened more swiftly than in any other nation to date. The findings of the research, which was commissioned by Drax Group, have been published today (5 December) in a league table ranking 25 nations on their efforts to drive renewable energy generation, phase out fossil fuels, encourage the uptake of electric vehicles (EVs) and champion energy-efficient buildings.

Clients have included Greenpeace, Nuclear Free Local Authorities, WWF Scotland and the UK Government’s Committee on Radioactive Waste Management.
